Zone 4 at Aiken Detention Center Faces Harsh Conditions
Zone 4 in the Aiken County Detention Center is a dangerous area where guards face daily threats. Inmates fire projectiles and sometimes light fires with smuggled matches while guards use minimal force to regain control. Inmates endure little sunlight, scarce recreation, and limited family visits, with clergy and attorneys able to meet but relatives rarely allowed.

Inside ACDC: life and toil in a county jail kitchen
Six guards staff the facility at a time as inmates prepare meals and carry out chores. Nonviolent offenders work for pennies weekly, while weaponized knives and tight security shape the daily routine. Escapes are deterred by layered surveillance, backup readiness, and strict head counts. Night ends with bed checks at 10 pm and another cycle begins tomorrow.
